Re: Smarter Hope they're in the shop buying and not just using the car park. Must check out Exeter store again soon... have liked Dunelm from my first visit and parents (neither keen shoppers) also rate the store and prices.
Re: Smarter Ditto. The Basingstoke Dunelm car park etc is always solid each day I go past.
Smarter Our local retail park is probably typical with a Dunelm, Next Home and Homebase in one place. Homebase is rapidly going downhill. The new Aussie owners have taken it way downmarket so that a Poundstretcher or B&M Bargains shop look like palaces by comparison. Hand-written signs and messy piles of 'bargains' proliferate. The Laura Ashley unit was taken out. Management decided to bung in some winter fireplace stock. The LA fitments all remain in place along with sections of wallpaper. The whole effect is bizarre and unsettling to a shopper. Staff seem gloomy. Tragedy for sales is sure to ensue. Next Home is as dead as a doornail. Anything other than bath towels seems very pricey. Footfall seems virtually non-existent. Staff invisible. It is all very tidy but lifeless, a showroom where there is nothing to take away today except expensive nicknackery and linens. Argos must be hammering them. Now we come to Dunelm, which is buzzing with activity and shoppers. The prices have certainly increased from recent years, but there are interesting on-trend new products on offer, the cafe is thronging and the tills are ringing. Staff are jolly and helpful. I for one am confident that Dunelm has turned a corner and we'll see the results by Christmas.

Re: Price looks like to hit Hi Shortry,I have to agree on your comments and areas even as low as your 4.54 stand out to me as well as a good support.I was looking or rather having to look at a much longer time frame to get clues of likely support with as you say 5.50 area now, continued weakness 5.00.Any lower than that and we will be in the trading range of 4.00 - 5.00 which the share price spent most of the year in 2011 and half of 2012On this long term chart I also see that if you use the 2009 250 break out figure and highs of 1050 in 2013 then 61.8% fib level would bring us in around here at 560[link] - 12 month chart.
Price looks like to hit 555 today, which could act as support. The more pessimistic broker views seem to be holding the day. Volume on the drop since April has been consistently high suggesting the bearish case is very well supported. If 555 doesn't hold as support (I'm looking at the weekly chart so closing prices at close of play on each friday are the important thing), then 525 seems to be likely, if that fails, then 478 and 454 come into play. Never say never!Possibly more positively there's is a good bullish divergence of price vs 1433 Stoch and RSI building on the weekly chart, these divergences often lead into a jump in price, the quetion is when and from where.At the current time, technically speaking DNLM is very bearish I'd say and the volume on the selling is not diminishing on any time frame.

Re: Re: Today's update on trading should give PI's more confidence to top up on this share which is still in a downtrend.atb
Re: Agreed, however the sp is still short of their price target of 650p.
Makes Caroline Gulliver at Jefferies look a bit of a numpty!
Re: Trading update Yes, very nice uplift this morning. A good solid business, happy to be holding.
